The European Union (EU) has begun investigation into social media giant Meta (formerly the Facebook company) for its alleged failures to remove election disinformation.
The EU declared on Tuesday that it was looking into the operator of Facebook and Instagram, claiming that the US business may have violated the online content regulations of the bloc.
Meta disclosed that the ongoing probe targets Russia’s Doppelganger online disinformation campaign, with efforts to combat misinformation in the run-up to the June EU elections being ramped up.
